Notes

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume II, I--Fathers of the Revolution: Robert Carter Nicholas born in 1715, in Hanover county, Virginia, was a son of Dr. George Nicholas and Elizabeth Carter, his wife, daughter of Hon. Robert Carter, president of the Virginia council (q. v.). He graduated from William and Mary College, and embraced the law. In 1756 he entered the house of burgesses for York county, continuing a member until the house of delegates was organized (1776), and was a member of that body until 1779. Though conservative in his views, he was nobly patriotic. He supported the Stamp Act resolutions of 1764, but opposed those of 1765 offered by Patrick Henry, deeming them premature. He was treasurer of the colony from 1766-1777, succeeding John Robinson. In 1773 he was a member of the committee of correspondence; a member of all the revolutionary conventions, and on the resignation of Peyton Randolph, president pro tem. of that of July, 1775. While he opposed Patrick Henry's proposition to organize the militia in March, 1775, he submitted as an alternative a motion to raise 10,000 regulars to serve throughout the war. When the news of the action of parliament, in 1774, laying an embargo on Boston, reached Virginia, he offered a resolution to set apart June 1, 1774, as a day of fasting and prayer, which was agreed to. While he opposed the resolution of May 15, 1776, in favor of instructing Congress for declaring independence, he refrained from voting that the action of the convention might go out with the prestige of unanimity. January 14, 1778, he was appointed one of the chancellors of the state, but he did not live long. He died at his seat in Hanover county, Virginia, in 1780. He married Anne Cary, daughter of Colonel Wilson Miles Cary, and was father of Governor Wilson Cary Nicholas (q. v.).

"5--1. Robert Carter, of Williamsburg, Va., b. 1-28-1728; States-man, Jurist and Patriot; he served as a Burgess, a member of the King's Council, as Treasurer of the Colony, and as a Vestryman of Bruton Parish; m. 1752, Anne Cary, dau. of Col. Wilson and Sarah -- Cary, of "Celey's," and had issue. (See Cary lineage.)."

On May 24, 1774, Robert Carter Nicholas introduced a resolution drafted by Thomas Jefferson that read:

"This House, being deeply impressed with apprehension of the great dangers, to be derived to British America, from the hostile Invasion of the City of Boston, in our Sister Colony of Massachusetts bay, whose commerce and harbour are, on the first Day of June next, to be stopped by an Armed force, deem it highly necessary that the said first day of June be set apart, by the Members of this House, as a day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, devoutly to implore the divine interposition for averting the heavy Calamity which threatens destruction to our Civil Rights, and the Evils of civil War; to give us one heart and one Mind to firmly oppose, by all just and proper means, every injury to American Rights; and that the Minds of his Majesty and his parliament, may be inspired from above with Wisdom, Moderation, and Justice, to remove from the loyal People of America, all cause of danger, from a continued pursuit of Measure, pregnant with their ruin." It was adopted.
